Wow. A blog update is LONG overdue. In the next couple of
weeks, I’m going to try to catch up bit by bit, all the while not repeating
what’s in my newsletter. You should be receiving my newsletter in the mail in
the next few days. Let me know if you’d like to receive one but don’t! (katie.carroll@ruf.org).
Small groups are going wonderfully.
It is so rewarding to see students in the bible on a regular basis, and to
watch as caring community begins to form for (maybe) the first time! It’s also
encouraging students to come to church, as our ministry team talks with our
new, weak Christians about what it means to walk with Christ day in and day
out. My car this week is full on the way to church—that is a HUGE answer to
prayer! We’re reading through proverbs right now. Join me in praying, for
myself and for my students, that God would cause them to treasure God’s
commandments, to call out for insight, and to seek understanding like sliver.
God’s promises are powerful and nothing is impossible for Him!
My son, if
you receive my words
and
treasure up my commandments with you,
making your
ear attentive to wisdom
and
inclining your heart to understanding;
yes, if you
call out for insight
and
raise your voice for understanding,
if you seek
it like silver
and
search for it as for hidden treasures,
then you
will understand the fear of the LORD
and
find the knowledge of God.
For the
LORD gives wisdom;
from
his mouth come knowledge and understanding;
he stores
up sound wisdom for the upright;
he
is a shield to those who walk in integrity,
guarding
the paths of justice
and
watching over the way of his saints.
(Proverbs 2:1-8 ESV)
Though I don't actually have a picture of a small group in action, these are some of the girls that I'm spending time with each week!
